Anyone have a source for a six volt positive ground FM converter?

    Worse comes to worse, buy an old 12 volt one at a yard sale and get a 6 to 12 volt inverter.  Or so I've been told!

    Here is another option gives you more options for what you can play through your stock radio:

    Rediscover radio produces a product called a RediRad, which broadcasts an am signal to your 6 volt am radio using an input from an iPad / MP3 / CD player. Sounds like a great idea, however it will not work on my 52 Hudson with the OEM 6 volt positive grd radio. Went as far as to replace the unit, even tried it on another car 48 Chrysler,.....still will not work.

    I am not slamming the supplier so much, as he was quite helpfull, in the end he offered to refund my money.

    More I would like to know if anyone has been able to get one of these to work on  a 6 volt positve grd system?

    I got it to work in my '50.  However a couple of notes: 1) make sure you have it so it is switched off when the key is off.  I wired it direct as my radio is, an it burned out the relay inside the unit.  2) I got some capacitors from Steve Engel (HET radio guru) due to noise.  Steve has worked with Redicover and if you are having issues I would talk to him to get them worked out.

    Hi Guys, Hate hijack the thread but I am unable to start a discussion on this forum , I type into the box but then its says need body of discussion and never loads after I type I the box. This is a hard forum for me for some reason to post. Can a mods post this new thread. thanks

    Convertible Cylinders REPO

    I am now a direct buyer of convertible cylinders for our stepdown Hudsons. I have corrected the issue with the door cylinders that were not able to come down all the way due to wrong length.

    The top cylinders, door and 1/4 window cylinders are $130 each plus shipping. These are cheaper than Hydro-Electric by $9 each and will fit correctly w/o modifications to the doors.

    Thanks

    Russ it is probably a browser corruption problem.  Use a different browser and see what happens.
